Fingerhut not updating reporting

Has anyone had experience  with  Fingerhut not reporting consistently?

Last month they converted me to regular account  from Fresh Start. I haven't  

charged anything yet. It's still showing last report was 3/18 and still showing old 

installment balance of $15. 

 

Also, one of my Comenity cards, Brylane, did the same thing.

 

Will they only report  if I use it? Trying not to charge  anything right now.

Fingerhut took a little longer to report our Fresh Start as closed and the new revolving account. Don't know about Brylane itself, but Comenity commonly won't report if there hasn't been activity on the account

Thanks. I wondered about Comenity as I've got three others, two of which I've not used, but they have reported.

And I actually used Brylane. Paid it to zero but it hasn't updated yet in reporting.

Re: Fingerhut not updating reporting

Most of my Comenity cards are reported.  The Lane Bryant hasn't and the Pottery Barn hasn't.  I have read that Comenity is a pay for play company and sometimes they won't' report cards that have no activity.  I recently used and paid my LB card and if it doesn't report soon I will probably cancel it since it does me no good not reporting.  I really would like my PB card to report since it has a higher limit of 4K.  I graduated from the Fingerhut Freshstart program about a month ago and the Advantage account since isn't reporting.  It took them around a month and a half to report my Freshstart so I expect the same for this account.

Re: Fingerhut not updating reporting

I do remember fresh start taking a bit to report.

That's why it's weird about Comenity I've not used two but they are reporting. Every month.
